Parent Review:

Working It Out has been wonderful to my family – providing great advice when I’ve needed it to work out how to support my daughter. They listen, they’re non-judgmental, and they have taught me so much. I go to a monthly Parent Support Group which has been great – meeting other people face-to-face who are working through similar issues has been invaluable. They have a lot of resources in their North Hobart Office, and have been able to provide training for our school. I’d highly recommend them.

Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Gender Dysphoria Service

Depending on your child’s age and circumstances you may get a referral to this service based in Melbourne (the Tasmanian State Government currently has a Patient Travel Assistance Scheme which pays travel costs should you need to go with your child to the RCH).

At RCH, the Gender Dysphoria Service consists of a team of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, Adolescent Physicians, Endocrinologists and Gynaecologists. We work together to ensure that all young people presenting to RCH with gender concerns receive a comprehensive assessment and ongoing support. If you, or your child or adolescent wishes to be seen by the RCH Gender Dysphoria Service, a referral is required from a general practitioner.’
